Springfield police are looking for two suspects after a woman was shot Wednesday at 3354 E. Whiteside St. in Springfield, department spokeswoman Lisa Cox said.

According to police, the woman was shot about 5 p.m. A bullet came through the house, entered the woman’s jaw and exited near her ear, Cox said.

The woman who was shot is at Mercy Hospital. According to police, her injuries are not believed to be life threatening.

Lt. Scott Umbarger with Springfield police said several shots were fired. There appeared to be nearly a dozen bullet holes in the side of the garage and about 15 shell casings in the area.

Police are looking for two male suspects. No one is in custody.

For approximately an hour, Springfield police were in front of a house on John Avenue, just south of Grand Street. Police told the News-Leader at the time that they believe the suspect in the shooting lives there. An officer was using a loudspeaker, but the officer’s words were unclear from a short distance.

At approximately 6:30 p.m., officers were seen leaving the scene on John Avenue but did not provide any information. It is unclear whether anyone was taken into custody at this time.

Residents of John Avenue are now were later allowed to go back to their homes.

James Trussell has lived on John Avenue more than 50 years.

“This is normally a safe neighborhood,” Trussell said, adding that he still feels that way.

Sylvia and Joseph B. Clark own two duplexes in the area of the shooting, including 3354 E. Whiteside, where the woman was shot.

Sylvia said she knew of no trouble in the rental properties recently. She got a call, shortly before we talked to her, Shortly before talking to the News-Leader, she got from a tenant who said: “there had been a shooting and there had been a hole in my house. There are so many cars, ambulances, whatever else that they couldn’t get into their driveways.”

Umbarger said police have been called to that address before, most recently for a domestic assault a few days ago.
